3rd Nick McNie; Eel 1st and 3rd Deb Preater, 2nd Kerryanne Preater,. There were also spot prizes for those who didn't get a major prize. As no vehicles are allowed in Winstone' s Forest a special thanks went to the other parties who helped Scott get his pig out. All hunters are reminded to weigh their pigs at R Hawira's (senior) for the prize-giving at the end of the year. The next hunt will be a novelty one and hunters should contact Stu Willis for more information.
